[ day 253 ] action :: open
[ Option One ]

First thing in the morning, Jean-Luc stops by the Defense Force headquarters to check in. He makes a habit of this every other day or so, just to see if he's needed in any manner but his usual patrol duties. So he can be found here with a fresh cup of steaming tea. He probably won't remain for long though, so catch him while you can if you need him.

[ Option Two ]

As often as he frequents the library, he should probably set up residence there. A home away from home, sort of thing. But nevertheless, he is at the library again. He's perusing the bookshelves, for the rare novelty of a book from another world that Earth. He frequently finds them in this place, as the prison does pull people in from everywhere. And this is his own personal way to continue his exploration of the Universe. Books, after all, are one of the most obvious founts of knowledge. And we know what people say of idle minds...

[ Closed to Helen Magnus ]

Jean-Luc has packed a dinner for both himself and Helen. He had sent her a message to meet at the stables later in the afternoon. He's in the stables, saddling up two horses, one for himself and one for Helen. A bag settles on the ground at his feet. He's in full riding attire. But yes, he has accepted that this meeting of theirs is an actual date. And he's okay with that.

I wonder where and when exactly you're from, Ms. Pryde. [ He realizes now that they know very little about each other. And he will seek to rectify that over time.

As she shifts topics, however, he listens intently. His training with Starfleet served to keep him adept at traversing any number of terrain and climate. And aside from said training, actual experience in several different worlds had done the same. He had been grateful for that training and experience here within the dome and in sector six. ] I have had some of the best training and experience in the universe. And in spite of my age I am in excellent health. [ He offers a small, amused smile, because he is quite old by most standards he's learned. But in his time people live much longer. ]

I must say I find the constant unknown of sector six appealing. But also, should you require me in a leadership position, I would be most willing to comply as as you've stated, I do have plenty of experience in such a position.

[She smiles a bit at him wondering about her.] Chicago, Illinois. Earth. [Well, a suburb, but when you have to start bringing up which planet just in case you might as well round up to the largest city.] Late 20th century. [But they can get into that more later.]

I wouldn't say require exactly. It's not bad having a leader back up [a number one?] for my sector in case I have to pull away to deal with the force as a whole. And fight now the sectors are all covered, but you never know when that might change.

[She pauses thinking about her plans for Sector 6.]

I'd like our team to do more reports on what we find in there. I'm not sure how the other two will do at that part, but they're tough. Heavy hitters. [Even though Aradia is an even younger girl than Kitty she's the most powerful one of them.] I have a feeling it's something you'd excel at though and we need that information to distribute to the rest of the force and maybe the rest of the prison in case there's another breakout. We could also use some...good will in there. We can't communicate with them yet, but maybe it's just a matter of finding some common ground to start from. We don't need the sector 6 inmates all thinking we're out for blood. [There have been deaths in there already.]

I have quite a bit of experience in mediating, diplomacy and initiating first contact, even with species whose means of communication we did not initially understand. [ He nods, surprised that he had never considered trying to speak with them. He supposed they had seemed more beast than sentient in nature. But perhaps that was not the case. ]

I am more than willing to try to learn their language should they have one.

	Thought you might be. Also thought you might be a good liaison for our findings to the investigative team. The better for them to investigate without being in harm's way. Does this sound good to you then? Better than potentially heading up a team? (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	[ Honestly, he would rather explore the unknown than lead. Jean-Luc, while a very adept leader, was always always the consummate explorer. It brought him to life more so than leading ever could. He nods and offers her a small smile, his eyes sparking to life at the prospect. ] I would prefer it, actually. And I will perform such to the best of my ability. (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

[She's gotta respect his enthusiasm for it.] I know you will. I still don't want any of us going in there alone [and though she isn't saying this at the moment, she is thinking this goes doubly for him since he's the one without powers.] but I think for now we'll consider patrols in that area exploratory information-gathering missions.

Still dangerous though. Do you have any experience with weapons?

	[ He would argue that he's gotten by quite well with any number of species with amazing powers and abilities without any of his own. But he also understands the need for caution in any respect when it comes to contact with any unknown. So he nods. ] I am well-skilled in combat. Starfleet has combat training in any number of weapon types as well as hand to hand. (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	Do you have one here? A weapon? Something you've made or tried to request? [She knows they aren't exactly easy to come by, but not impossible even if it took some magic and technical know how to bring hers into creation.] (Reply to this) (Parent)
